Political career
Mwaure was a candidate for Governor in the 2013 Lamu local elections.[1]
He was a candidate for President of Kenya in the 2022 general election.[2] with Ruth Mucheru as his deputy running mate. He launched his 12-point manifesto on 4 July 2022.[3][4] He argued that it's time for the country to move forward and start in a new slate in terms of leadership. He envisages his leadership to pledge alliance to the constitution; his pledge to family, women, youth, persons living with disability, county governments, workers, business owners, the economy, religious institutions, the environment, as well as a pledge to the international community.[5] He also promised to recover public monies stashed in offshore accounts as well as dissolve the Nairobi City County government.[6]
He conceded defeat in the presidential election on August 14, and endorsed William Ruto.[7]
